Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page1

As Scholars every one of us is in a never-ending state of worry about our youth,

constantly thinking:
Who are their role models? What type of company do they keep? How will
they cope out there in the BIG world? Will they be able to maintain their Islamic
identity against all odds? Who will they turn to when they are in trouble or need help
and support?
It is NOT an easy task trying to nurture them, keep them safe and conscious of
their Lord amidst other challenges in life especially in our technology dominated world
where gaming and social media have taken over – with its distractions and many
negative influences.
Our chief responsibility as the CEO in their upbringing is to guide them using
the correct teachings of the Quran, Sunnah; as you aim to link the Islamic teachings
and our youth.

Why the Qur’an and Sunnah?

The Qur’an and Sunnah are the best sources of guidance for the whole of
humankind. These educate, empower and inspire. These are the companions and
mentors-in-one; the fountains and treasures hold of knowledge and learning from
which all knowledge springs.
Understanding and living the message of the Qur’an must be a priority for all
families.
”This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious
of Allah.”1
The Qur’an lays down the core principles we need to follow if we are to
succeed in both worlds. Moreover, the lifestyle of the Prophet (saw) as described by
his wife was the Qur’an – he lived it!
‘Aishah (RA) said: The conduct of the Prophet (saw) was entirely according to
the Qur’an. (Muslim, in a long Hadith)2
It is therefore compulsory to learn how to read the Quran, understand its
message as well as the wisdom behind revelation
Make it a habit to recite a specific part of the Holy Qur’an daily. Also try to
listen the Qur’an in free time. Like when driving a car, it must be to play (audio) and
listen to it. Choose reciters that are easy to follow along such as Misahry Al-
Afasy and Shiekh Huzaify. Choose chapters s/he is familiar with and pause after some
verses or entire chapter to reflect on salient points.

What Qur’an can do for our youth?

Reciting Qur’an with understanding is a means of fulfilling an Islamic duty in
this world while earning the reader great rewards. It will also raise one’s status in this
worldly life. For the next life, it will intercede on Judgment day; and it is sure path to
Jannah, to be reserved company among the noble and obedient angels.
While in Madinah, the Prophet (saw) once had to send a group to Yemen to
teach them (new Muslims) about Islam. He (SAW) choose Mu’adh ibn Jabal (RA) as the
group leader although he was young (likely in his early twenties). His knowledge of the
Qur’an had made Mu’adh (RA) a leader chosen by the Rasul (S.A.W) for such an
important mission.
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page2

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, “The most knowledgeable of my ummah in

matters of halal (permitted) and haram (forbidden) is Mu’adh ibn Jabal.”
Our youth have the right to be raised as God conscious Muslims. By motivating
them to devote quality time, and attach both heart and soul to learning the Qur’an;
they will earn some reward both in this world and even after their death. In addition,
the love of Allah (SWT) will be nurtured in their hearts.

Study and follow the Sunnah.

Prophet Muhammad’s life is the best example to follow. And a means of
expressing love for Allah (S.W.T).”Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then
follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful.”3
It is a very hard challenge getting the children and youth to be Islamic,
especially with so much distraction around them all the time.
Our Prophet (saw) motivated everyone including the youth, by first
establishing a good grounding of Islam within them then by creating an Islamic
atmosphere so that they remained steadfast.
The Prophet’s (saw) words are the best advice and his (saw) ways are the best
ways! They automatically connect with our heart and mind and it feels just right and
creates tranquility in ourselves. All we have to do is follow what the Prophet (saw) told
us to do.

Faith is before action

‫ «فتعلمنا‬،‫ كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن فتيان حزاورة‬:‫ قال‬،‫عن جندب بن عبد الله‬ .1
4
»‫ ثم تعلمنا القرآن فازددنا به إيمانا‬،‫اإليمان قبل أن نتعلم القرآن‬
Translation: Jundub bin Abdullah said: “We were with the Prophet (saw), and we were
strong youths, so we learned Imaan before we learned Quran. Then we learned Quran
and our faith increased thereby.”
Here, the companion of Holy Prophet says that we first learned the Faith, even
if we were completely convinced of the virtue of Allah, then we started learning the
Book of Allah, and the result was that our faith was even stronger. This Hadith shows
that the first we should work hard on our faith so that our own faith should be
strengthened, after that we will feel sweetness of our acts.

It is easy to follow religion

Our young class understands that it is very difficult to follow religion, while it is not
exactly. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) states that it is easy
to follow religion.
‫ ولن يشاد الدين أحد إال‬،‫ «إن الدين يسر‬:‫ عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‬،‫عن أبي هريرة‬ .2
5
»‫ واستعينوا بالغدوة والروحة وشيء من الدلجة‬،‫ وأبشروا‬،‫ فسددوا وقاربوا‬،‫غلبه‬
Translation: The Prophet (saw) said, “Religion is very easy and whoever overburden
himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page3

extreme, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be
rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the nights.”
When man asserts himself that it is difficult to follow religion, then it is difficult
to practice it for him. But when they decide that I have to follow these orders, then
after working continuously some days, they will feel that it is easy to practice religion.
Then if there is a slight negligence, then you will feel very bad and he will try to quickly
correct his actions.

Love of Holy Prophet is a part of faith

There is another important thing besides believing the Quran and following its
orders to keep the love and belief with Holy Prophet. Hadith of the Prophet (peace be
upon him) said:
‫ «ال يؤمن أحدكم حتى أكون‬:‫ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫ قال‬،‫عن أنس بن مالك‬ .3
6
»‫ والناس أجمعين‬،‫ ووالده‬،‫أحب إليه من ولده‬
Translation: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘None of you truly believes until I am
more beloved to him than his child, his father and all the people.’
This Hadith does not mean that every time the family should forgotten in
proofing love with the Holy Prophet. It means that there is a great love in Heart of
every Muslim, which is expressed when the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) order is different and the wife and children's demand is different, then
it is a real love to preach the Holy Prophet at such times. Not to allow anyone to be
hindered before the order of the Holy Prophet.

What is the real belief?

‫ بالله‬:‫ " ال يؤمن عبد حتى يؤمن بأربع‬:‫ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫ قال‬،‫عن علي‬ .4
7
"‫ والقدر‬،‫ وبالبعث بعد الموت‬،‫ وأني رسول الله‬،‫وحده ال شريك له‬
Translation: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘No slave truly believes until he
believes in four things: in Allah alone with no partner; that I am the Messenger of
Allah; in the resurrection after death; and in the Divine Decree (Qadar).’
Faith is actually a combination of many things. If there is no faith in any of
these, then faith is not acceptable. The things on which to be believe should be: Do
not consider anyone the partner of Almighty Allah. Just to be consider worthy of
worship. To believe in angel. To believe in all the prophets and obey Muhammad (saw)
as a true prophet and messenger of Allah. To believe in all heavenly books and to
accept the Qur'an as the last and right book of God. Faith in fate and destiny, faith in
the Day of Judgment, and punishment and compensation, etc.

The person's identity comes from the meetings of his friends

The goodness and evilness of a person estimated from the meetings in which
he sits. It is a fact that the person sitting in the kind of assembly, the same habits and
habits prevail. The effect of accepting effect in man filled with dough. Therefore, the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page4

‫ فلينظر‬،‫ «الرجل على دين خليله‬:‫ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫ قال‬،‫عن أبي هريرة‬ .5
8
»‫أحدكم من يخالل‬
Translation: The Prophet (saw) said, “A man is upon the religion of his friend, so let
one of you look at whom he befriends.”
That is why we need to sit in the meeting of good people and keep ourselves
away from bad meetings. Especially youths should be sitting in the meetings of
scholars, saints and good people. So that their influence in their lives. Moreover, they
will feel blessed.

There should be veiled on Sins of Muslim brother

We see many people around us in sin. It is our duty to prevent them from sin, but
also keep in mind that we do not describe anyone's evil in front of others. Because
man is a slender one. Tomorrow, we have to face any sin that we want to hide, but
someone should show it, and put us in trouble. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) has described the virtue of putting the curtain on the
evil of his Muslim brother and has threatened on revealing the evil of anyone. He (saw)
says:
‫ ستر الله‬،‫ «من ستر عورة أخيه المسلم‬:‫ عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‬،‫عن ابن عباس‬ .6

‫ حتى يفضحه بها في‬،‫ كشف الله عورته‬،‫ ومن كشف عورة أخيه المسلم‬،‫عورته يوم القيامة‬
9
»‫بيته‬
Translation: Prophet (saw) said: “Whoever conceals the (hidden) fault of his Muslim
brother, Allah (SWT) will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever
exposes the fault of his Muslim brother, Allah will expose his faults, until (so that) He
shames him, due to it, in his (own) house.”

Drinking Wine should be avoided

If a person drinks alcohol, he does not live in his own self and wants his heart to
commit sin. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbid drinking
wine, as it is mentioned:
‫ فإنها مفتاح‬،‫ «ال تشرب الخمر‬:‫ أوصاني خليلي صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫ قال‬،‫عن أبي الدرداء‬ .7
10
»‫كل شر‬
Translation: Abu Darda said: “My close friend (saw) advised me: Do not drink wine, for
it is the key to all evils.”

If there is Shame in eyes of man, he remains good

‫ إذا لم‬،‫ «إن مما أدرك الناس من كالم النبوة‬:‫ قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم‬،‫عن أبي مسعود‬ .8
11
»‫تستحي فاصنع ما شئت‬
Translation: The messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Among the words people obtained
from the First Prophecy are: If you feel no shame, then do as you wish.”
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page5

There is a thing that protects humans from sins because when there is a shame
in man's eyes, then he will definitely think it once that someone is looking at me. The
same thought will stop him from sin.

Kindness on Youngers and respect of Elders

‫ ويوقر‬،‫ «ليس منا من لم يرحم صغيرنا‬:‫ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫عن ابن عباس قال‬ .9
12
»‫ ويأمر بالمعروف وينه عن المنكر‬،‫كبيرنا‬
Translation: Messenger of Allah said: “He is not one of us who does not have mercy
upon our young, respect our elders, and command good and forbid evil.”
In this Hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
emphasized that we would be good for the kindness of our loved ones and respect our
elders. There will be no wars in society and peace will be on our society. In order to
keep the society safe, another principle has been told in the Hadith that we invite
people to good deeds and prevent them from evil. Today, the work of preaching of
religion is propagated in our society, therefore, according to this hadith, every one of
us should go to the way of Allaah and make our time valuable, and also Avoid our
brothers from hellfire and normalize God's religion and try our best to raise it in the
world.

Rights of the way

‫ «إياكم والجلوس‬:‫ عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‬،‫ عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه‬.11
‫ «فإذا أبيتم إال‬:‫ قال‬،‫ إنما هي مجالسنا نتحدث فيها‬،‫ ما لنا بد‬:‫ فقالوا‬، »‫على الطرقات‬
،‫ وكف األذى‬،‫ «غض البصر‬:‫ وما حق الطريق؟ قال‬:‫ قالوا‬،»‫ فأعطوا الطريق حقها‬،‫المجالس‬
13
»‫ ونهي عن المنكر‬،‫ وأمر بالمعروف‬،‫ورد السالم‬
Translation: The Prophet (SAW) said, “Beware! Avoid sitting on the roads (ways).” the
people said, “there is no way out of it as these are our sitting places where we have
talks.” The Prophet (saw) said, “If you must sit there, then observe the rights of the
way.” they asked, “What are the rights of the way?” He said, “they are the lowering of
your gazes (on seeing what is illegal to look at), refraining from harming people,
returning greetings, advocating good and forbidding evil.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in this Hadith,
for the sake of reforming a young class that every person should first completely avoid
sitting in the passage. However, if he still needs to sit in the passage or sit, then Pay
the rights of passage. The first right of the passage is to protect your views. Avoid
looking at women whether they are old ones or young girls. Similarly, if any disturbing
thing is seen on the way, it should be removed. The people who pass through the
passage should greet the people, and the most important thing is that if any person
sees in doing sin, stop him from doing this sin. Moreover, Invite and show him the
right path.
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page6

Treatment of desires
‫ كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه‬:‫ فقال‬،‫ مع عبد الله رضي الله عنه‬،‫ بينا أنا أمشي‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن علقمة‬.11
‫ ومن لم يستطع‬،‫ وأحصن للفرج‬،‫ فإنه أغض للبصر‬،‫ «من استطاع الباءة فليتزوج‬:‫ فقال‬،‫وسلم‬
14
»‫ فإنه له وجاء‬،‫فعليه بالصوم‬
Translation: Alqamah said: While I was walking with Abdullah, he said: “We were in
the company of the Prophet (saw) and he said: ‘He who can afford to marry should
marry. Because it will help him refrain from looking at other women, and save his
private parts from looking at other women, and save his private parts from committing
illegal sexual relation; and he who cannot afford to marry is advised to fast, as fasting
will diminish his sexual power.”
When Allah created man, then he would make some wishes with him, whose
purpose was man's trial. This is the biggest weakness of man. Allah Almighty has given
desires on one side, on the other side; also provide both legitimate and unlawful ways
to fulfill it. It is understood in this Hadith that if a man wants to fulfill his desires in the
right way, then if he is able to marry, he should marry because he gets safe from many
sins by getting married. Because of this, man's eyes do not see any stranger woman
with bad view. Similarly, when his desires fulfill in valid place, it will not get the
opportunity to fulfill it at wrong places. Yes! If he do not have the ability to marry, he
should keep fasting. It will reduce his desires and he will be safe from sins.

The best feature of Muslim

‫ «من سلم‬:‫ أي اإلسالم أفضل؟ قال‬،‫ قالوا يا رسول الله‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه‬.12
15
»‫ ويده‬،‫المسلمون من لسانه‬
Translation: Some people asked Allah’s Apostle, “Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is
a very good Muslim)?” He replied, “One who avoids harming the Muslims with his
tongue and hands.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) states that the best
feature of the Muslim is that he will never hurt any Muslim brother. See another
Hadith related to this chapter:
16
»‫ وقتاله كفر‬،‫ «سباب المسلم فسوق‬:‫ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫ عن عبد الله قال‬.13
Translation: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Verbally abusing a Muslim is
immorality and fighting him is Kufr (disbelief).”
It came from the Hadith that it is a big sin to abolish the Muslim. It is called an
immorality. Even greater sin is that he kill his Muslim brothers. The killer was called
out of Islam, that he is Kafir. In the next Hadith, the Holy Prophet interact to love with
each other. It is said:
‫ ال تدخلوا الجنة‬،‫ «والذي نفسي بيده‬:‫ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن أبي هريرة‬.14
‫ أوال أدلكم على شيء إذا فعلتموه تحاببتم؟ أفشوا السالم‬،‫ وال تؤمنوا حتى تحابوا‬،‫حتى تؤمنوا‬
17
»‫بينكم‬
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page7

Translation: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my soul!
You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not (truly) believe until you
love one another. Shall I not tell you of something which, if you do it, you will love one
another? Spread the greetings of Salam among yourselves.’

Natural Habits of Muslim

،‫ وحلق العانة‬،‫ الختان‬:‫ «خمس من الفطرة‬:‫ عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‬،‫ عن أبي هريرة‬.15
18
»‫ وأخذ الشارب‬،‫ وتقليم األظفار‬،‫ونتف اإلبط‬
Translation: The Prophet (saw) said: “The fitra (Fitrah) are five: Circumcision, shaving
the pubes, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails and taking from the mustache.”
19
»‫ وأعفوا اللحى‬،‫ «أحفوا الشوارب‬:‫ عن النبي ﷺ قال‬،‫ عن ابن عمر‬.16
Translation: The Prophet (saw) said: “Trim the mustache and let the beard grow.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in the above-
mentioned narrations to perform a few things that are included in the nature of
human being: It is circumcision. It is Sunnah of all Prophets. Even with regard to
medicine, it is a useful process. It has many advantages in the relationship of marriage.
That is not to be discussed here. Similarly, shaving the hair of pubes and armpits,
cutting the nails, and taking from the mustaches. Every Friday should take action on
the above. If not possible, once in fifteen days. If there is a reason, so it should be
processed for the third week. However, In forty days if these things are not cleaned,
then there will be a sin. Because it causes dirt. Apart from which the beard grows more
than fist, then it should be equal to a fist.

Starting of every work from right side

20
»‫ وفي شأنه كله‬،‫ وطهوره‬،‫ وترجله‬،‫ في تنعله‬،‫ كان النبي ﷺ «يعجبه التيمن‬:‫ قالت‬،‫ عن عائشة‬.17
Translation: The Prophet used to like to start from the right side on wearing shoes,
combing his hair and cleaning or washing himself and on doing anything else.
The Prophet (PBUH) liked everything to start from the right side. When
wearing, first wears the right foot shoe, when combing hairs, combs in the right side
of head first, washes first the right hand and right feet in Wudu and even likes the
beginning from right side in every work.
Fuaha e kiram taken from this Hadith that every good work should start from the
right side and should end with the left. Just like eating, drinking, entering the mosque,
entering the house, doing things etc. should start with the right in all such tasks. It is
better to start with left side in such tasks, getting out of home, getting out of Mosque
and more.

Accepting an invitation to a wedding reception

21
»‫ «إذا دعي أحدكم إلى وليمة عرس فليجب‬:‫ أن رسول الله ﷺ قال‬،‫ عن ابن عمر‬.18
Translation: Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “If anyone of you is invited to a wedding
feast, let him accept.”
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page8

In another Hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
describes the rights of Muslims, saying that it is the right to accept a Muslim's
invitation. Therefore, accept the invitation. The scholars say that if there is an excuse
to go to the invitation, then go and offer excuse. This invitation will be accepted, in
which no Sharia order is being imposed. It does not have music etc.

Prohibition of sitting on tombs

22
»‫ «ال تصلوا إلى القبور وال تجلسوا عليها‬:‫ قال رسول الله ﷺ‬:‫ عن أبي مرثد الغنوي قال‬.19
Translation: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Do not pray toward graves and do not
sit on them.’
In this Hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) is pointing out two things. The first thing is
about manners and the other thing is related to faith and actions. Do not sit on the
tomb because it is desecration of the dead. Do not turn towards it performing prayer
because it is Polytheism.

Thanking the people

23
»‫ «ال يشكر الله من ال يشكر الناس‬:‫ عن النبي ﷺ قال‬،‫ عن أبي هريرة‬.21
Translation: The Prophet (saw) said: He who does not thank the people is not thankful
to Allah.
Whenever a person issues a favor with you, in return, you should make a case
of kindness with him. It's very bad to forget someone's favor. The best reward for
someone's good is to say in return “ ‫”جزاك الله‬. Hadith is said that these words are
sufficient for rewarding greatest favor and goodness of someone.

Mother's right
‫ ثم‬،‫ «أمك‬:‫ يا رسول الله من أحق الناس بحسن الصحبة؟ قال‬:‫ قال رجل‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن أبي هريرة‬.12
24
»‫ ثم أدناك أدناك‬،‫ ثم أبوك‬،‫ ثم أمك‬،‫أمك‬
Translation: Abu Huraira reported that a person said: Allah’s Messenger, who among
the people is most deserving of my good treatment? He said: Your mother, again your
mother, again your mother, then your father, then your nearest relatives according to
the order (of nearness).
This Hadith shows how much the mother's right is. Doing blessings with mom
all the life is not the reward of her little blessings she done to you in your childhood.
One of the companion of Holy prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
pilgrimaged his mother on his shoulders and then came to the prophet and said: "Did
I paid my mother’s rights doing this act? The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) said: you have not paid the lowest right of your mom when she was
pregnant of your embryo and had carried you nine months.
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth |Page9

Estranging with Muslim brother is not permissible

‫ «ال يحل لمسلم أن يهجر‬:‫ قال‬،‫ أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬،‫ عن أبي أيوب األنصاري‬.22
25
»‫ وخيرهما الذي يبدأ بالسالم‬،‫ يلتقيان فيعرض هذا ويعرض هذا‬،‫أخاه فوق ثالث ليال‬
Translation: Abu Ayyub Ansiri reported Allah’s Messenger (saw) as saying: It is not
permissible for a Muslim to have estranged relations with his brother beyond three
nights, the one turning one way and the other turning the other way when they meet;
the better of the two is one who is the first to give a greeting.
Two basic things guide this Hadith. It is not permissible to disconnect more
than three days with your Muslim brother. Otherwise, both will be the sinners. The
second important thing is that when two Muslim brothers interfere with each other,
best of both is the one who greet first.
‫ فإن الظن أكذب‬،‫ «إياكم والظن‬:‫ قال‬،‫ أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬،‫ عن أبي هريرة‬.23
،‫ وال تدابروا‬،‫ وال تباغضوا‬،‫ وال تحاسدوا‬،‫ وال تنافسوا‬،‫ وال تجسسوا‬،‫ وال تحسسوا‬،‫الحديث‬
26
»‫وكونوا عباد الله إخوانا‬
Translation: The Prophet (saw) said: Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is the gravest lie in
talk and do not be inquisitive about one another and do not spy upon one another and
do not feel envy with the other, and nurse no malice, and nurse no aversion and
hostility against one another. And be fellow-brothers and servants of Allah.
‫ ويوم‬،‫ " تفتح أبواب الجنة يوم اإلثنين‬:‫ قال‬،‫ أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬،‫ عن أبي هريرة‬.24
:‫ فيقال‬،‫ إال رجال كانت بينه وبين أخيه شحناء‬،‫ فيغفر لكل عبد ال يشرك بالله شيئا‬،‫الخميس‬
27
"‫ أنظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا‬،‫ أنظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا‬،‫أنظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا‬
Translation: The Prophet (saw) said: The gates of Paradise are not opened but on two
days, Monday and Thursday. and then every servant (of Allah) is granted pardon who
does not associate anything with Allah except the person in whose (heart) there is
rancor against his brother. And it would be said: Look towards both of them until there
is reconciliation; look toward both of them until there is reconciliation; look towards
both of them until there is reconciliation.
It means that every Muslim becomes miserable in these days, but there is no
forgiveness of this misfortune, which is not correct with his Muslim brother. It seems
to be a big sin to estrange with a Muslim brother. The greatest sinful person is
forgiven, but he does not forgive until the relations and peace between the two are
not restored.

Mutual love
‫ «أين‬:‫ إن الله يقول يوم القيامة‬:‫ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن أبي هريرة‬.25
28
»‫ اليوم أظلهم في ظلي يوم ال ظل إال ظلي‬،‫المتحابون بجاللي‬
Translation: The prophet (saw) said: Verily. Allah would say on the Day of
Resurrection: Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory’s sake? Today I
Responsibilities of Muslim Youth | P a g e 11

shall shelter them in my shadow when there is no other shadow but the shadow of
mine.
How high rank gave Allah to mutual love. On the Day of Resurrection when
there is no shadow, except his shadow. Allah will shelter a person in his shadow, who
has purely loved anyone for his pleasure.
It involves love for parents, love for sisters and love for wives and children. One
view of kindness to parents is similar to the popular Hajj and Umrah, and it is charity
to feed the wife in love in her mouth, and the Sunnah of the Prophet.
I presented a few things to the young man in light of Hadiths. Allaah Almighty
should give first me and then to us all Muslims the desire to make these things
sensitive to our everyday life. I am grateful to Allaah who has inspired me to write so.
Our last prayer is that the Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
The End
